FOUNTAIN-PEN.

Application filed May 8, 1915, Serial No. 26,890. Renewed May 2, 1918.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

' Be it known that I, CLEMENTS, L. ARAGON,

States of America, residing at Reno, in the county of Vashoe and State of Nevada, have invented certain new and useful Tniprovements in Fountain-Pens, of which the following 'is a specification,

reference being hadtherein to the accom-v 'ally secured within the casing of the pen so as to bear upon the rubber reservoir whereby I by pivoting the pressure bar it may compress the reservoir and thereby force the air through the reservoir prior to iilling the saine so that upon the release of the reservoir the reservoir may be filled with ink.

Vith these and other objects in view, this invention consists of certain novel combinations, constructions, and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing:-

Figure l is av detailed perspective .view of the fountain pen, constructed in accordance with this invention.

Fig. 2 'is a central longitudinal section taken through the fountain pen, showing the device in an assembled position.

Fig. 3 is a central longitudinal section through the 'fountain pen, taken. at right angles to Fig. 2, portions of the device being shown in elevation.

Fig. 4 is a section of Fig. 3.

Fim 5 is a fragmentary side elevation of taken on the line 4 -4 l the easing, showing the opening formed therein which is adapted to receive the spur .of the pressure bar.

y Fig. 6 is a detailed perspective view of the pressure bar.

5 Fig. 7 is a ldetailed perspective view of a certain cap used in connection with this inyention.

i Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals it will be seen that the fountain pen comprises a casing l, of the usual construction, which is adapted to detaehably carry the pen portion, indicated in general by 2. This pen port-ion 2 is adapted to be provided with the rubber reservoir 3 which Specification of Letters Eatent.

extends into the interior of the casing l' The opposite end of the casing l is provided4 with a reduced threaded neck Ll and is adapted to detachably forms a closure therefor. is necessary to iil the rubber reservoir after the same has been emptied it isp, desirable to provide a simple and efficient, means for allowing thereservoir without removing the same4 from the.I casing l. Therefore there is provided the., pressure bar, as herein described. 1 L

The pressurebar comprises an elongated body 6 which is curved throughout its entire length and has a spur- 7 formed integral upon one side edge thereof as shown in Fig. 6

as shown at 8 and through' the opening ing l. Therefore by tending through This 4spur i' is hooked'v having this spur Tex# the opening 9, it will bei.

seen that the pressure bar G will be pivot-.vf

ally supported within and uponthe casing l. After the pen has posed between lthe inner upon one end of the pressure This finger l() entends through the neckfei-f of the easing l so as to allow the gripping' head ll to extend beyond the of the casing for `facilitating the easy grip`A course hood 1:2 may be provided for fitting over the pen portion or nib of the fountain pen when the device not in use, this hood being capable of being detached and carried by the opposite end of the pen when it is desired to use the pen.

dJ/'hen the fountain pen is in'operation, it

will be seen that the ink wiil iy-gradualiy 100 used from the rubber reservoir 3. vWhen this reservoir has been emptied and .it is desired to again fill the saine, the cap 5 'mayl be removed from the threaded neck d so as to expose .the gripping head 1l. of the 'pres 1% sure bar 6. This head il may be gripped and twisted so that the finger l() will cause the pressure bar 6 to be swung by pivoting upon the spur Since the spur 7 is hinged,

as heretofore set forth, it will be prevented 110 from accidentally slipping from the opening 9 former.. inthe easing i. When the prescarry the cap 5 which,e@ f

inasmuch as it in cross section 810i v;

is adapted to entende;

9 formed in thevcasgm been assembled it will B0; be seen that the pressure bar (iwillbeinter-1n portions of the rubber-f1' reservoir 3, as clearly shown in Figs. and-' 3. An' oii'set finger l() is formed .integrally 85 bar ti and terminates in an enlarged'gripping head 1i.

outer portions 'l obvious th 'a as herein disclosed,

normal position and at the -duced end .19 ot the feed 1G.

yThis cut away portion in Fig. 4, the air will be forced from the reservoir. The head 11 may the-n be rel leased so that the resiliency of the reservoir 3 will cause the bar to again be swung to its same time the suction will cause the reservoir to be illed with ink.

'The pen portion which isy disclosed in general at, comprises a pen section 13 having the reduced portion 14. which is adapted to be forced or passed into the casing l--or detachabiy retaining the pen section in engagement therewith. This pen section 3.3 has a central bore 15 extending therethrough and through this bore 15 there passes the feed 1G. This feed 16 is provided with an angular passage 17 which conimunicates with the outer portion of the feed at the grooved portion 1S' formed inthe rei The pen .section is cut away at 2O within its inner portion for the purpose of receiving the pen )oint 21. llf'hen this peny point 21 is forced etween the pen section 13 and the feed 1o it will be positively retained in position for use so as to cover the groove portion 18 to receive the ink passing through the angular passagel? formed within the feed 16 which connnunicates with the interior of the reservoir ln order that the interior portions or" the pen portion may be repaired o'r cleansed as required, the feed 16 is provided with the eut away portions 21 communicating with the angular passage 17. is adapt-ed to be closed by means oi.' the removable section 22 as shown in lig, 2. il/'hen the device is assembled this sectional portion 22 is held in position by means of the pen section 13 and there-fore the ink passage 1? will be prevented from accidentally spilling or escaping from the passage until it is discharged upon the pen point 21. From this description, it will be seen that the pen portion of the penis sub.-

passing through the Let/deel stantially made so as to minimize the pos-fquires but which. may be easily disassembled for allowing the' same to be easily cleansed or repaired as the occasion requires.

`What claim is ln a fountain pen of the character described the combina-tion of a casing having a pen portion, a yieldable reservoir carried by said pen portion within said casing, a pressure bar carried within said casing, said bar comprising an elongated body and being .interposed between said casing and reservoir, said casing having an opening in its side7 a hooked spur formed upon one side of said pressure bar, said spur fitting within said opening, an inwardly offset finger formed upon the upper end of .said bar, said finger extending from the upper end of said casing, an enlarged fiat gripping head formed upon said finger, whereby said bar may be turned bythe turning of said neck and head, said bar being adapted to e swung so as to pivot upon said spur thereby compressing said reservoir prior to filling the same, said bar then being reieased so as to permit said reservoir to expand for creating a suction therein for refilling the same.

ln testimony whereof I hereunto aHiX my signature in. presence of two Witnesses.-
